Favourite Les Paul tones.

Did 335's the other day and found some great stuff to watch that I've not seen. 

So Les Pauls



Changes often but this is always up there.

Bird of Paradise - Snowy White

LP toanz got to be Gary Moore from any of Still Got The Blues or Slash from AFD.

Peter Green, Mr Kossoff

Warren Haynes. Not a fan of Les Pauls generally, but he makes me want one just a little bit.

+1.
And it isn't just the one tone either, it's a whole pallette of great LP tones.

Gassage

Unplugged ones.

xSkarloey

Clapton on Fresh Cream

Peter Green- The Boston Tea Party stuff shows the full scope of what old school players could coax out of a Lester by riding tone and volume pots

Danny Kirwan

Gary Moore

John Sykes

Billy Duffy

Mick Ronson

Steve Clark

JDB

Jimmy Page

John Squire

John McLaughlin on the first Mahavishnu record

Stuart Adamson when he used one. IIRC he had a tasty Les Paul 25/50 model at one point

I would say Jeff Beck, but though there's a ton of great tones on Blow by Blow I can never tell which is a straight Gib and what's the Tele-Gib

Love Spreads - Stone Roses
Brothers In Arms - Dire Straits

this has to be up there, although the main reason I usually watch this is to drool at the amazing backline. How much gear do they really need to play 5 songs in a TV studio?

Kossoff!I forgot Koss. 

Anything and everything off the Fire and Water album. 

Again an absolute masterclass in going straight into an amp

I'm not for a moment going all luddite and saying old is best, but for otherwise unadorned tone this is a benchmark album for me. 

Alright Now- heavy OD

Fire and Water- Crunch OD

Oh I Wept- gorgeous simplicity. 

Heavy Load- one of the great clean tones in British recorded history to date. Hank Marvin/ Peter Green quality. 
A four bar solo that is as good as it gets in any genre of improvisation.

Here's another. Quinessential British-style Les Paul style playing: heavily overdriven Marshall, leaning back, biting yer lip, digging in and going for it. Bliss.

Duane Allman.

This slays: start around 3 mins in
